Musicians perspective:

Scott Wilburn came down from Sandpoint, ID to resurrect the Baja Blues Band.
Great venue! Loved the winery.
People loved what we had to offer.
Tried something new with on-stage monitoring: each musician had their own keyboard amp with the main mix, their vocal, and their instrument coming into three channels and they could mix their own on-stage mix and increase/decrease their own volume any way they liked. You cannot say I don't take care of my peeps. They loved it!

The Baja Blues Band rides again.

This particular recording is the matrix recording (see below for explanation).
There is a straight soundboard recording of this gig at:

A "matrix" recording is where you take a soundboard recording and blend in a stereo recording "from the room" (in this case, a Zoom Q3HD sitting at the back of the room pointed at our PA speakers).
Matrix recordings usually pick up more of the room noise and crowd noise, but it is the frequencies and overall sound of the room that the soundboard recording DOESN'T pick up...so blending these two sources gives you a more "live" and warm sound when compared to a straight soundboard recording.

Until next time,

Kevin B. Selby
